The Forbidden Forest

The group got out of the Ragnarok and stared at the ruins of the ancients for a while pondering on what they will find.

"So, any ideas?" Ray asked

"Nope!" Chad said, now completely healed from his injury.

"How 'bout a split?" Josh suggested

"What?" Ashley shouted,

"I mean you and I go left while Chad and Ray go right! Use the PHS if you find any thing, OK?" Josh asked, the rest of them nodded and the group split up in the search for Areis.

Ray and Chad were in what looked like a cocoon of sorts, it kept spiraling up and they saw four beds.

"Think we call them and meet up?" Ray asked Chad

"Just a minute… I thought I saw something!" Chad said

"What is it?" Ray asked

"I'm not sure, stay here, I will check it out," Chad ordered

"What the f…. Fine!" Ray surrendered as Chad left. Ray had a funny feeling about him so he called Josh on the PHS.

Josh and Ashley were just exploring a ruined building when the call came through.

"What is it?" Josh asked when he picked up.

"Chad left because he thought he saw something and I have a bad feeling about it," Ray said on the phone.

"Ok, I'm on my way!" He hangs up and runs off with Ashley

When Josh and Ashley arrived Ray was about to meet them when they were attacked by a group of imp-like monsters, Josh just took out his Ultima Weapon and cut through all of them like a hot knife through butter. With that out of the way, they were about to go after Chad when Chad came back.

"Where the Fuck have you been, Chad?" Josh asked

"Just around!" Chad says as he surprises everyone by giving Ashley a kiss. Ashley is flushed while the rest of us are completely dumbfounded.

"Well, let's get some sleep!" Josh said

That night…

The group went down the middle path inside the old ruin and found a glowing path that spiraled down into the ancient ruins. There they see an image of a girl dressed in pink.

"Areis?" Josh breathed out as he runs toward the stumps that comprises of stairs. Josh then jumps up to Areis and the image opened her eyes and speaks to him while the rest of us jumped up to listen in.

"Josh, son of Cloud, you are the new hope, a terrible darkness is coming and we need the light of Holy!" The image said

"I have Holy!" Josh said

"But you are not strong enough to use it, yet!" The image said

"When will I be?" Josh asked

"I don't know but you will figure it out when the time is right!" The image said, the image disappeared and turned into a green ball which shot into Josh, he floats, glows and then a white wing pops out of him.

"WOW!" The rest of the group said in awe.

"A white wing?" Josh asked her, but for an answer he got silence.

"Areis? Tell me, Please. Why me?" Josh asked her, Again silence.

"Fine, guys let's go." Josh ordered and we left.
